Registration for the much-anticipated 11th Jialichuang Electronic Design Contest, themed the "CH32 RISC-V MCU Cup", officially opened on May 15, 2026. Hosted by Jialichuang Mall and deeply supported by FOSAN as an industry partner, the two parties leverage core strengths spanning technology, supply chain and industrial ecosystem resources to jointly build a benchmark professional, open-source and inclusive innovation competition for the electronics sector, fueling high-quality development of China’s integrated circuit and electronic R&D industry.
This strategic partnership with Jialichuang Mall marks a key initiative of FOSAN to expand its footprint in China’s domestic electronics ecosystem and fulfill corporate industry responsibilities.
China’s electronics industry is advancing at full speed amid nationwide localization replacement and in-depth industrial upgrading, yet prominent bottlenecks remain restricting the industry’s pursuit of independent controllable development: a shortage of high-caliber engineering professionals, gaps in hands-on talent training frameworks, limited diversified technical application scenarios, and insufficient market penetration of domestically manufactured electronic components.
As an upstream original manufacturer of chip resistors within the industrial chain, FOSAN has long prioritized boosting the growth of China’s indigenous electronics industry. Ranked among China’s most influential open-source innovation events, the Jialichuang Electronic Design Contest serves as a critical bridge connecting industries, cutting-edge technologies and technical talents. Centered on hands-on competitive development, the competition has established a full-cycle talent cultivation mechanism featuring "Boost Learning via Competition, Refine Practical Capabilities via Competition, and Inspire Innovation via Competition", continuously supplying the industry with competent application-oriented R&D specialists.
Conventional electronics talent training predominantly focuses on classroom theoretical teaching, leaving most developers lacking hands-on experience with domestic electronic components and end-to-end project development expertise, which fails to match industrialized R&D requirements from enterprises.
Breaking the divide between textbook theories and real-world practice, the Jialichuang Electronic Design Contest prioritizes immersive practical development with diverse competition tracks. It delivers a premium platform for electronics enthusiasts, university faculty and students, as well as professional R&D engineers to showcase innovative ideas. Through rigorous evaluation procedures, the contest identifies and incubates emerging technical talents equipped with independent development capabilities aligned with the domestic industrial chain’s demands, injecting sustained momentum into the high-quality advancement of the electronics industry.
From an industrial chain perspective, backed by Jialichuang Mall’s sophisticated and well-established supply chain network, the competition streamlines efficient cooperation between IC designers, component suppliers, R&D developers and end-market clients. This enables premium products from domestic manufacturers including FOSAN to reach massive developer communities nationwide and realize precise matching between product offerings and market demands. Focused on incubating innovative projects, the contest encourages participants to develop creative solutions using domestic electronic components, accelerating the transformation of outstanding design concepts from schematics to finished products and from lab prototypes to commercial applications. Such efforts effectively expand the application scope of domestic electronic components across smart terminals, industrial control, consumer electronics, new energy and multiple other sectors.
Rooted in industrial development and committed to technological innovation, FOSAN will further deepen its strategic cooperation with Jialichuang Mall going forward. Taking the annual electronic design contest as a core pivot, FOSAN will keep investing in talent cultivation, consolidating technological innovation fundamentals and optimizing its industrial ecosystem layout. Drawing on complementary industrial resources, both sides will roll out comprehensive measures including competition empowerment, technical backing, resource sponsorship and ecosystem co-construction to refine the open-source electronics R&D environment, smoothing out the full-value chain covering talent training, technological breakthroughs and industrial commercialization. Jointly, they will facilitate the specialized, independent and high-quality upgrade of China’s electronics industrial chain and contribute robust momentum to the thriving of China’s indigenous electronics industry.
